PRs ROCK!

Huge PRs rock harder!

CONGRATS!!!

cathy,

what race did you do? tell us about the PR!!!

thanks p/wd

It was San Jose International, an Olympic distance (swim is a little short). I’ve done it twice before and my best time prior to today was 3:33. Today I went under 3:00 (2:58 on my watch) for the first time ever, so I’m totally thrilled! Faster swim, faster bike (even holding back per instructions), and a lot faster run.

wow! that is a big improvement. You must be so excited!! I am assuming training for kona is going well:-)

Ha! Yes, I’m still smiling. Training is going very well!! And you?

B: 105km = 66mi = 66pt
R: 25k = 15.6mi = 62.5pt

Total: 128.5pt.

I’ll give you the PR credit if you give me the ā€œriding-with-Khai-for-an-hourā€ credit :wink:

6/25 - 1064kj in 25mi
6/26 - 4127kj in 94mi
Total of 359pts.

I think it’s pretty much impossible to compete with multi-sporters for the green jersey, so writing in how many kilojoules I’m putting out during my rides makes me feel validated.

Great job, Cathy! No extra credit, but it will give you more encouragement to train and get those points.

Just a short run today.

how does the point system work?

Can you explain the points system?

WHAT CAME BEFORE…

http://www.slowtwitch.com/mainheadings/features/semicamp.html

HOW IS IT SCORED…

1mi run = 4pt
100yds swim = 1pt
1mi ride = 1pt

HOW TO PLAY…

Each day post your totals. Whoever posts first on the day, start a new thread for that day. Easier to tally everyone’s totals that way.

Today would be ā€œVirtual Epic Wednesday 22 June 2005ā€.

FAQ…

did this start today or earlier this week - sorry to ask.<<

Today (22 June)

when will it end?<<

Never! Kidding…

Seriously, the first one slowman did for 9 days. So say from today, 22 June to 4 July (giving everyone in the US the holiday weekend)? That’s 13 days.

Any bonus points for races?

No.

Any bonus points for weather, climbing, personal life strife, weight training, being ugly, being too good looking, etc.?

No.
